“And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.”
Acts 2:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 2:5
The gathering of 'devout men, out of every nation under heaven' providentially prepared for Pentecost's universal significance. These diaspora Jews represented the scattered nations from Genesis 11's Babel judgment, now being reversed through the Spirit's gift of languages. God's sovereignty orchestrated this convergence, ensuring the gospel would immediately spread to all known regions through eyewitnesses of Christ's resurrection and the Spirit's descent.
